of air science and tactics; Captain
Woodbury; E. K. Hibshman, bur

Substitute Set
For Student
Snack Agency
A plan permitting the sale of
non-perishable food items in the
Nittany-Pollock ar ea has been
initiated as a substitute for a pro
posed Student Snack Service
agency.
The new plan, now in opera
tion, permits the sal e •of food
items in the dormitories. Students
sell candy and similar food arti
cles from their rooms. Each sales-.
man serves tw o dorms, is re
sponsible for maintaining his
stock and ordering more, and op
erates accor ding to scheduled)
hours.
'Saleimen were selected by the
supezvisor of student employment
with the cooperation of the resi
dent counselors• and the Nittany
and Pollock councils. They were
selected on the basis of financial
need and their ability to render
satisfactory . services. According
to the present plan, salesmen will
retain their entire profits.
The plan for a Student Snack
Service agency was rejected by
the Student Employment Service
after investigation showed that
the amount of profit would not
justify the hiring of a manager,
advertising, bookkeeping, and al
lottment of office space.
The new plan was organized
through the joint cooperation of
the Nittany and Pollock councils
and the Student Employment
Agency, which assisted in screen
ing applicants.
If the new plan is successful,
according 'to Wes Tomlinson, pres
ident of the Nittany Council, ad
ditional items will be sold next
semester.

Reese Attacks
Editor's Stand-.
See Page 4
During the course of the meet
ing Reese said that he had been
approached by memb - e r s of a
"secret" campus organization
which promised him an appoint
ment to Tribunal, membership in
Blue Key, and the AIM presidency
in 1953-54 if he would run for the
vice presidency rather than the
presidency this year.
Sachs' Statement
Reese made his statements fol
lowing a vote of confidence from
the AIM Board of Governors.
Reese said that these promises
had been made by Walter. Sachs
whom, he said, he had "reason to
believe" has been tapped by the
organization.
In answering Reese's charges,
Sachs last night gave the Daily
Collegian a written statement. He
said:
"The accusations that Frank
Reese has hurled at me are both •
false and malicious. They are not
only designed to involve and dis
credit me in an affair that ob
viously as a fraternity man I have
no part whatever in, but they are
bringing politics into a purely
personal matter. •
Can't 'Give' Positions
"I considered Frank Reese to
be a friend of mine and as such
I told him it was my personal
opinion that it would be best for
him not to run for the AIM presi
dency because I felt that an older
and more experienced p ers o n
would be needed to keep AlM's
head above water during the com
ing year. I suppose this was
taken as a personal insult though
it was not meant as such.
"It is not within my power nor
anyone else's power to 'give' po
sitions in Blue Key or any other
organization on this campus. Penn
State is not a • college of political
graft, but a college where level
headed young men discuss their
personal opinions and act in the
way they see fit; and in a way
that will not build their ego but
their character; in a way that will
serve the best interests of Penn
State. I have acted in this manner.
Evidently Mr. Reese has not seen
fit to do so."
Lion's Paw Mentioned
After hearing Reese's charges,
John Stoudt, vice president of
AIM and chairman of the nomi
nating committee which nomi
nated Joseph Haines and Reese
for the presidency, said: "I be
lieve I am a member of the or
ganization you are talking about."
Later, Stoudt said: "It is
the honor organization Lion's Paw
everyone's been talking about."
His remarks were cut off by the
limitations on discussion.
Stoudt, who resigned as AIM
vice president, said that had he
or Lion's Paw really attempted
to keep Reese from getting the
presidency, they would have dis
covered his scholastic deficiency.
Previously, Reese had declined
to name the group against whom
he made the charges because he
said he had "no proof" of his ac
cusations. He was asked to name
other members of the organiza
tion, but did not do so, he said,
because he did not know their
names. He said that the organi
zation was a secret one.
Lion's Paw is the highest honor
society attainable by any male
